She has never played by the rules. That is precisely why Peaches has become one of the most influential figures in alternative music over the past two decades. Her live shows are as much performance art as they are concerts, blending energy, humour, provocation and uncompromising freedom of expression. If you have ever heard that courage fades with age, Peaches is living proof of the opposite.
Peaches, born Merrill Nisker, is a Canadian musician, producer, performer and feminist icon who rose to prominence with her groundbreaking debut album The Teaches of Peaches. She has collaborated with artists including Iggy Pop, Daft Punk, Christina Aguilera and Yoko Ono, while her music has appeared in Lost in Translation and The Handmaid’s Tale. Her work has also become the subject of academic study around the world. Beyond music, she directs videos, creates immersive performance projects and continues to push the boundaries of what a live show can be. In 2026, she released No Lube So Rude, her first studio album in more than a decade. On the record, she openly explores identity, ageing, bodily autonomy and the right to be heard. As she puts it, the album is for everyone who refuses to give up their voice. And if her live reputation is anything to go by, just about anything could happen at Colours.
